How to write an if statement within a JavaScript object when setting an attribute?

To write an if statement within a JavaScript object when setting an attribute, we can use the ternary operator.

For instance, we write:

const testBoolean = true;

const object = {
  attributeOne: "attributeOne",
  attributeTwo: testBoolean ? "attributeTwo" : "attributeTwoToo"
}
console.log(object)

We set testBoolean to true.

And we set object.attributeTwi to 'attributeTwo' is testBoolean is true and 'attributeTwoToo' otherwise.

As a result, we see that object is {attributeOne: 'attributeOne', attributeTwo: 'attributeTwo'}.

Conclusion

To write an if statement within a JavaScript object when setting an attribute, we can use the ternary operator.
